Life has been announced as a winner in the first Crossref Metadata Awards, recognising its commitment to high-quality ...

This valuable study presents an analysis of evolutionary conservation in intrinsically disordered regions, identified as key drivers of phase separation, leveraging a protein language model. The ...

Effective mucosal immunity in the intestine involves a fine balance between tolerance of the microbiome, recognition and elimination of pathogens, and inflammatory tissue injury. The anti-inflammatory ...

In this valuable study, the authors demonstrate that TCF7L2 plays a role in the pathogenesis of cachexia in a mouse model of GI cancer. The results are solid, although future studies will need further ...

This manuscript characterizes a mutated clone of RNA polymerase I in yeast, referred to as SuperPol, to understand the mechanisms of RNA polymerase I elongation and termination. The authors present ...

Efforts to estimate the reproducibility of published research results have focused on specific areas of research to date, ...

This useful study explores the role of RAP2A in asymmetric cell division (ACD) regulation in glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs), drawing parallels to Drosophila ACD mechanisms and proposing that an ...

Microfluidics experiments and simulations show that magnetotactic bacteria are adapted to the geomagnetic field strength for optimal navigation in sediment environments.

The study by Li et al. provides fundamental findings supported by convincing evidence that they defined cellular reprogramming of androgen receptor in neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC). The ...

Among the major classes of RNAs in the cell, tRNAs remain the most difficult to characterize via deep sequencing approaches, as tRNA structure and nucleotide modifications can each interfere with cDNA ...

Disease-causing mutations in the signaling protein BMP4 impair its secretion, but only when it is made as a homodimer.

This valuable study provides insights into a key question in comparative neuroanatomy and development. The authors provide evidence of the role for a particular micro-RNA in regulating the development ...
